About the host
Hosted by Nico Melchior
My husband and I are the owners, and we look forward to your stay. We understand your love for traveling, as my husband is an international pilot. From our first contact to you packing up and getting back on the road, I'm here to ensure that you see the best of San Diego. I'm happy to be as involved as you would like; check you in, conduct a quick tour of the town or lay low and let you read from our insightful guide - with suggestions of the best bars and restaurants for happy hour and eating. Remember, I'm practically next door if you need anything, anytime. Enjoy!
Why they chose this property
I bought this property the minute I saw it. I fell in love with the zen atmosphere within the garden. You can't help but feel at peace on the property. Along with that, the zen of it stands out in an urban environment. So, I felt the need to share my property on VRBO for others to experience.
